Hello,

Yesterday I just wrote here: 
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93788, explaining this:

I'm working with gstreamer using fsl-image-gui (dylan branch)  and I 
tried  Multi-Overlay tutorial (see link above)  . However when I try to 
use *mfw_isink, *gstreamer tells me :

Hello everybody,

I didn't specified my branch and hardware in the last e-mail, but we're 
usingdylan branch for iMX6Q SabreLite board.

We discovered that gst-fsl-plugin is not including the sink in the next 
directory : 
~/build/tmp/work/imx6qsabrelite-poky-linux-gnueabi/gst-fsl-plugin/3.0.5-r9.3/gst-fsl-plugins-3.0.5/src/misc/

The v4lsink folder is compiled , however isink folderis not compiled.

Any clues how to add it?

I almost remember that this is a known issue and the fix was not 
backported to dylan.

In other words, it's already fixed on master, but was not backported to 
dylan

Would you mind to test using master?

Hello Daiane

No problem at all. We already were testing master for another reason but 
we were not yet able to compile it with linux-fslc (we post another 
message before). We will try with linux-boundary and I will test this there.

Just now we were testing if dylan+linux-fslc change something but the 
result is terrible. We lost our hdmi video output and network does not 
start neither. Trying menuconfig at linux-fslc I can see that Graphics 
support options are very different from linux-boundary graph options. We 
were starting to fear that linux.fslc has no very good support for our 
iMX6Q Sabre Lite. Can it be possible? Or it is more possible we have a 
problem with our yocto configuration?

Thank you very much,
Jose

Re: Gstreamer problem with mfw_isink

[Post Lauren-RAA013]

Gst plugin for Isink needs access to mxc_fb.h.  If gstreamer during autoconfigure state does not find this which has resided in the kernel/include/linux directory than it will auto configure it out of the build.  Need to add includes in gst-fsl-plugin to the path where mxc_fb.h resides.

Re: Gstreamer problem with mfw_isink

[Jose Mª Ferreiro]

Hello Lauren

I will never know. At noon we decided to do a ./repo sync (three weeks 
from last). Now the isink.imx is included.

When I try to look at autoconfigure work, I find references to 
linux/mxcfb.h and the sink compiled.

Thanks any way,
Jose

PD: a full family of pinguins is also included into the update

the gst-fsl-plugins (and all its component) are not developed to be used 
with linux-fslc kernel.

You can compare the two version of MM recipes (I think that the fix you 
need is from libfslcodec, but I'm not absolutely sure) and create the 
bug fix patch that installs the isink plugin when using 
linux-imx/linux-boundary kernel

Kernel from mainline (linux-fslc) does not have GPU support as-is. If 
you must use that kernel you will need to include GPU support by your 
own. So, this is the normal behavior.

For HDMI, last new I've heard is that the patch to add this was sent and 
was under review/approval.

Bear on mind that linux-fslc is a copy of kernel.org kernel, and this is 
not the kernel Freescale supports (or BD)

Hi Daiane

The plugins were been used with linux-boundary. As I said to Lauren we 
did a repo sync and now the sink is included in the dylan branch. Next 
week we see how it works.

Oh! I am shocked .. . again :) I thought linux-fslc was the kernel used 
by Freescale TLIB people. I cand find many posts where they are working 
with gstreamer.  As you can see, I am very lost in this labyrinthic 
forest full of roots, trees and branches :)

Thank you again
